Fantastic Photo's ! Thanks for the link Sandy. This was a brilliant way for me to see some of the wonderful people and dogs I made friends with over in the states. I hear they all had a great time too. Bob, you even look like a real musher poster boy there! As alsways great ones of Terri and the fluffies. Wish I could have been there. :) Kimberley Perth Australia
